Yah some lenses have too much flange distance,...to rotate the turret or focus when on it. That used to bum people out all the time, and they would get rather mad, after buying new lenses for their new enlargers. -- LF Website @ http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |

About 20 or 30 years ago they came out.
I have mounted my share of enlarger lenses and have never found any of the usual ones that will not readily mount in a D5. Turret or not. But I am more than willing to learn anything. Tell me whaic 50mm you want to mount? FWIW The D5 is very similar to a D6 and the D6 came out before the D5. And there was a D3 and D4. |

"narke" wrote in message ups.com... A seller called me and said he got a used Omega D5V-XL Enlarger. I did not heard it before, and after a google search, I found only D2V. Does anyone have any ideal about this product? Can it use 50mm lens? Can it use Rodenstock ? - narke The D-5 is a current model an is the replacement for the D-2. What sort of price does the guy want for it? Does it come with any lenses? Does it have the variable condenser lamphouse or the Chromega color head? All have an effect on the value. XL means it has an Xtra-Long column. Of course, condition is everything. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |

Possibly a D2V head on a D5XL chassis. There was no D5V head that I know of.
